Leather jackets are one of those wardrobe staples that only gets more versatile each season. Once reserved for tomboys and tough girls, a leather jacket is now a go-to partner for any outfit from cocktail dress to boyfriend jean.
There are so many great styles to choose from these days, so you can really get something that works with the vibe of your wardrobe. Whether you’re edgy or girly, there’s definitely a style that will suit you. Not sure what you want? Let’s break down some of our favorite takes on the trend.
1. Moto: A motorcycle style is one of the most classic types there is. Traditionally this style is a bit boxy with silver hardware and a belt buckled around the bottom, but there are also slimmer versions out there, too. They’re great for adding a tough edge to any look.
2. Minimal: A sleek and simple style will complement just about anything in your wardrobe. Look for styles with minimal hardware and details - it should be fitted and unfussy. This style is perfect for the urban sophisticate.
3. Colored: Whether you choose a bold shade of red or blue, or a pretty pastel (3.1 Phillip Lim showed the prettiest pale shades this season), choosing an unexpected hue is a great way to add a modern touch to your look.
4. Cropped: Fitted, shorter styles are great for pairing with dresses. They look most flattering if they are tailored and sit at the natural waist. Try wearing one with floral, girly dress for a fresh twist.
5. Boyfriend: Slightly oversized styles are not only great for layering, but have a cool, masculine vibe. These styles generally fall below the hip, and are great for wearing over chunky knits in chilly weather.
